David Kunkle said in a Dallas Morning News interview last year that he would simply be too shy to serve in any kind of public office beyond police chief. We receive the mayoral candidate’s response to that and more in the next segment of the Advocate video podcast series.

In the series, we highlight the issues surrounding the race, talking with each of the major candidates in an unedited discussion, revealing how they might govern if elected.

In Part 3 of the four-part podcast, Kunkle tells us what made him decide to run on Jan. 31 (:54) and addresses what type of role former mayor Laura Miller plays in the campaign, since her husband Steven Wolens is the campaign treasurer (5:09). Next, Kunkle openly discusses his social awkwardness and why that can be a good thing in a mayor (5:09). He goes on to debunk any rumors that it’s all part of his campaign (7:02).
